The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports that three EMCS, Cobb, Flint Energies, and Sawnee, have signed on to buy solar energy generated electricity that will be sold by the Southern Company. The new facility will be built on 911 acres in Taylor County, and will power up to 21,000 homes. The power purchase agreements will provide clean energy to customers for 25 years.
